Welcome! Glad to have you finally posting! 8th is also when I rejoined the hobby, after largely skipping out 6th and 7th, where I didn't really like the ruleset, alo rejoining as a chaos player (which I have remainned). If you want some encouragement painting, you might want to join the Call to Arms painting event which is ongoing until September 15. If you were to join, I imagine it would be in the Astartes Stronghold, given the armies you said you are working on.

Welcome!

Welcome! If you want some encouragement getting paint on models, you should consider joining the Call to Arms painting event which runs until September 15. I imagine you would most likely throw in for the Astartes, so here's a link to their Stronghold. As well, if you are into online role play, you might want to check out our forum for that.

Welcome! That's one angry Barbie. As @Bouargh noted, the Call to Arms painting event is ongoing until mid September - its a great way to get some paint on models to the encouragement of your fellow members.

If you are looking to get some models painted, you might want to consider joining the Call to Arms painting event - it lasts until September 15. Its a good way to get some models done while being cheered on by your fellow members.

Thanks, @Dr. Clock, @space wolf and @W.A.Rorie - glad you like them. I'm really happy how they've turned out, though they are far louder than would normally be my preference... still, that works very well for the army. I'll post some more when I finish the second batch of 5 for that squad - I'm about 1/2 done now and hoping to get them done before August. Dr. Clock, you are probably right about the shade - I had considered giving them a reiksland fleshshade wash like I do on my Chaos Space Marines, but am hesitant to because a) its quite warm, and I think I would want to cool down the gold, not make it warmer and b) it makes the trim look kind of oily/dirty, which works well for my CSM but I want a cleaner look for my EC. That said, I do use it on the "wing" portion of the EC symbols on the (their) right shoulder pads, where it looks fine but a bit brown - so maybe I'll start whatever gold highlighting tests I do there and maybe carry the same wash across the rest of the gold if I like the result. Good eye on spotting the shade/wash on the metal - the "joints" (so the belly, armpits, knees & palms) are leadbelcher with a coating of nuln oil. In those places I don't mind the oily sheen, as it seems appropriate for the location. Don't think I would use nuln on the gold, though, as when I've accidentally gotten some of it on the gold I found it just makes the gold look dirty. Purple hadn't occurred to me, although another user had suggested it in my EC thread for edgelining the gold from the white (where nuln oil does work fine) - I had tried it on my CSM but preferred the reikslander for them, a despite my still having that pot it hadn't occurred to me to try that here. I'll probably give it a go at some point, to see what I think, though I admit I am concerned about adding more purple to the model. The new models are nice, though I personally prefer the look of the CSM line over them - just a matter of personal taste, I think. I do think we've benefited with the kit being both melee and ranged (just like the legionaires kit) because its required GW to make the kit more modular than it might be otherwise - its very easy to get a variety of unique looking models, even with some of their more fluid poses. That said, this particular squad is going to have a lot of models pointing swords - I'll have to try to limit that pose in future squads.

Your claw lord on cyber rat isn't as bid as Lord Invocatus, and is instead about the same size as a marine character on a bike, so only 5 (rather than 10) points. As for your gun teams, are you pointing them as 1 for the gun and 1 for the rat? If so, that sounds right - if you are valueing the guns alone at 2 pnts, they should only be 1 as they are basically terminator sized, which are 1. So I've put you down for 111 pnts. BTW, is the big spiked ball part of the vow? I didn't see anything there that I could attribute it to.

Your colour blends are great - but in particular, that purple is beautiful. And although I personally would have gone with a greater contrast (I know, we've had this discussion at least twice already ), I think you've done a great job in differentiating the blues in the magic and on the armour.

Hellbrute is a pretty good model to magnetize all the options, if that's something you want to try. I used this tutorial for mine.

Warmaster is the current underdog - both in terms of vowed points (582 vs 680) and completed vows (10 pnts v 19 pnts). That said, with the insane vows in this forum, one failed vow could throw the event to the other side.
